During the time theEifel Tower was made, many people were surprised and shocked to see itsdaring and intrepid shape. The engineers who were making an effort tocreate it were accused big time of the experiment they were trying todo. The engineers however, were sure and confident of what they had inmind; they could also understand the forces of the wind and knew thatthe structure would support the strong slashes of the wind. Finally,their persistence pays off in the year 1989 when the towersconstruction work got completed and stood as one of the largest towersin the entire Paris.The tower has two restaurants and both are located on the firstfloor.
